	Umm, I have no interest in providing a continuosly updated set
 of .deb files; I prefer enabling people to fish, rather than
 providing them with fish forever ;-).

	Someone else is welcome to take up the task, however. 

	I think I shall create a separate package, called
 gnus-package, and renae the script make-gnus, and distribute it, juas
 as I do kernel-package. 

	Any objections?
